Week 8 - Challenge 1 - Draft Analysis on a Fan Cover

DRAFT ANALYSIS ON FAN COVER

Draft Analysis

When making a part that will be molded, the analysis will verify that all surfaces are favorable for being pulled from a cavity. It may also highlight or give insight to "trouble" areas. Simple parts may not need this. More complex parts that need multiple cores or slides, it becomes very helpful.

Procedure

1. Check the surface continuity of model.

2. Create Point at centre of body and Create Coordinate system at that point. Intersect the x plane and body.

3. create dummy tooling axis for x direction

4. Create two lines along the drafted surface

5. Create Bisecting line with these two lines that will be the direction of tool in the x direction

6. Intersect Y plane and the body.

7. Create two line along the drafted surface.

8. Create Bisecting line with these two line and that will be the direction of tool in y direction.

9. Now Create Bisecting line with X tooling direction and Y tooling direction. That will be the Tooling direction of the body.

10. Now select the feature draft analysis. Merge the compass with tooling direction and analyze the results for the required drafting angle.
